Lately I have been feeling like a loose end; not very connected or grounded. With that feeling comes noise, a feeling of unsettledness, and even a bit of fear. What's worse, I lose that deep connection to my intuitive side; a side that I have come to embrace and truly love. I have been in this space before and it does not scare me, but it does frustrate the hell out me. I don't like it, but I am learning to go with it and look for the good. (For example, during these times I am even more appreciative of the times when I am most grounded and peaceful.)

So this week over on Make the Most of U I asked the following “Go Big Or Go Home Question”; Who or what do I need to be to create a peaceful and grounded life? What am I willing to do to achieve peace and become more grounded and peaceful?

My answer...

I need to be a patient person. (This is a tough one for me, as patience has NEVER been my strongest suit.)
I need to be loving and compassionate, not just to others, but to myself.
I need to be aware and present so that I can catch any fear-based actions or words.
I need to be grateful.
I need to be accepting of me and be real/authentic.

I am willing to get back to mediating again at least three times a week.
I am willing to journal every night before bed.
I am willing to practice a gratitude exercise anytime fear sets in.
I am willing to take deep breathes, especially when I notice feelings of unsettledness.
I am willing to avoid getting involved in drama of any kind.
I am willing not to be judgmental of myself or others.
I am willing to avoid gossip.

Clarity is a beautiful thing. So...Who or what do you need to be to create a peaceful and grounded life? What are you willing to do to achieve peace and become more grounded and peaceful?
